Not Z. Charitable institution.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
i, with many Others OF the inmates of the Sol.
ders home, desire to thank you for saying in Sat
urday's STAR that this institution should not be
considered charitable one, and that those who
occupy the home have rendered an equivalent for
our care and protection. Some or our good tenn
perance lecturers who honor us each week with
tnelr eloquent speeches seem To not clearly under
stand the nature OF the institution ana place IL in
the same category with the national soldiers,
homes when. As you have stated it bears no rela.
lions TO them whatever. So far as the funds that
support them are concerned. And then talk about
the noble generosity OF the government sin GIVING
us this beautiful home is pretty but not true In
TACT. we coDcede all they say rs to the generosity
OF the government, ana more, and We feel very
grateful TO the government Tor deyising a way
whereby we have been enabled to cOn1rbuta :,
part OF The liberal wages it has given us for our
services, so that We are able TO have home OF our
own IN our declining day, and to feel that we are
not dependents Oh pduperS. The writer bears no
ill-wiIl To these good temperance peODle on the
contrary. he thinks their objects and aims are
worthy and God-like, and it is for this reason he
warns them that speaking TO us or OF us as de-
pendentS Will not conduce to the success of their
cause. ON FoGy
